Hogarth Sixpenny Pamphlet Number One
By EM Forster
1939

First separate printing of Forster's essay on humanist ethics and virtues, the quotable and occasionally provocative "reflections of an individualist and a liberal," originally published (as "Two Cheers for Democracy") in THE NATION in 1938.

Edward Morgan Forster OM CH (1 January 1879 – 7 June 1970) was an English author.
Forster was President of the Cambridge Humanists from 1959 until his death and a member of the Advisory Council of the British Humanist Association from 1963 until his death. His views as a humanist are at the heart of his work, which often depicts the pursuit of personal connections despite the restrictions of contemporary society. His humanist attitude is expressed in the 1938 essay What I Believe.
